Tepig. So far I have always chosen the Fire starter, and the other two have much worse movepools. It also means I dont need to find a space for a fighting type. (I need a solid fighting type in all of my teams as I had a terrible experience in HG when my only fighting moves were Focus Blast on Typhlosion and Ampharos and really struggled because my team was bad in general.)
He is also the best starter when it comes to gyms doing great against the second, third and seventh gyms, while Snivy is good in one gym and Dewott is good in one too.
So yeah, suitable typing, more effective at gyms, better movepool and I like his design better.

I am picking Oshawott! Oshawott is my favorite out of the starters. It is just so awesome! I really like Samurott so I can't wait to have my own. It is an awesome water type and I havn't chose a water starter on my first time before. I want to have an awesome adventure with my Oshawott. I am going to name mine Aqua.

I'll pick Snivy in my white version. Just because I like the last form of that Pokémon.
And there's another reason. I wanted to choose Snivy or Oshawott in my japanese black version. I chose Oshawott. So now I want to see the adventure with Snivy.
Oshawott is a good choice too. I learned him TM (like surf and cascade).

I don't like Tepig final form... So it is why I don't hesitate between Snivy and Tepig

Tepig. I like the Fire Type Starters from all Generations (even though I like the Treecko Line better than the Torchic Line) Also, my brother is choosing Oshawott, and we could get each other Starter's Data in our PokeDex. Hopefully one of my friends will choose Snivy.

Oshawott.
I liked it from the start and did never think it was a rip-off of Piplup(luckely people stopped that). I think it looks both cute and cool. Water is also my favorite type among Fire/Grass/Water. I also love the evolutions and I don't care if Samurott doesn't lokk that much like Oshawott and Dewott. It is also a good mixed sweeper and is one of the best water types of Unova.

May we have an undecided option for the poll?
I think my friend will be choosing Snivy or possibly Oshawott and so I will pick the two opposites, although i still think i may just box them as even though i will not complain, I do not like these starters as much, usually it's easy for me but not at all this time. There is also that many other awesome pokemon of the same types as the starters as to not need them.
etc.
Tepig line < Chandellure and Volcarona
Oshawott line < Caracossta, Seismitoad and Jellicent
Snivy line < Lilligant, Sawsbuck, Ferrothorn
(all of the above are in my opinion, others may certainly vary)
There are just way too many other awesome pokemon that i like more-so.

I will probably choose snivy in white and oshawott in black. im kinda really wanting a fire type starter though since i never played through hg ss with cyndaquil but i strongly dislike tepigs evolutions so im not sure that ill pick tepig

I'm getting an Oshawott for Black and choosing Snivy for the 3rd version. :P
I'm picking Oshawott because I plan to have a fir and grass type on my final team, and there really isn't alot of water types.(from what i've seen)
Snivy is because I want a Panpour. I love them Panpour. Plus, I've really liked snakes.
And Serperier(sp?) is so elegant, every time I think about it, I imagine it is some King or Butler for some fancy people or Pokemon. At first I was all liek, "OMG SNAKE! IT'S A SNAKE! SNAKKKKKEE! Gamefreak, I had the feeling you and me shared similar thoughts!"
(I had a perfect idea of a snake starter, and *poof* It's there!)

I have claimed the Derpfish! (Stunfisk)
I have also claimed Romano, from Hetalia.
Not even Spain can touch him now! >)
